While accusations of assault continue to come out, Harvey Weinstein pleads for 'second chance'

ABC reports that Harvey Weinstein is hoping for a second chance after several women came forward with accusations of sexual assault and harassment over three decades.

In a video taken outside his daughter's house in Los Angeles, Weinstein said: “Guys, I’m not doing OK but I’m trying. I got to get help. You know what, we all make mistakes. ... A second chance, I hope."

Weinstein also took a defiant tone against his detractors in Hollywood, saying "You know what, I've always been loyal to you guys, not like those fucking pussies who treat you like shit, I've been the good guy."

The video comes after the accusations continue to be levelled at the film executive, with Sarah Ann Masse, Louisette Geiss, Romola Garai, Mira Sorvino, Judith Godreche, Léa Seydoux, Rosanna Arquette, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Harvey Weinstein, Rose McGowan, Lauren Sivan, Jessica Barth, Emma De Caunes, Heather Graham, Asia Argento and Cara Delevingne all coming forward with shocking accounts of Weinstein's predatory nature.
